Man not sure what noise your getting out from your bow, I have 4-Hoyt's Bows all set up to 65 pounds 30 inch draw and I shoot carbon express Maxima hunters 350s out of all them very quite and never had a deer jumping a arrow

Arrows too light for quiet. I shoot a carbon spyder 34 with either 450 grain arrows or 500 grain arrows. It's quiet and I have yet to see something jump. My heavy arrows are going 280 fps+ and blew through a grizzly bear. My 450 grain arrows shot through muskox and moose last year. My sweet spot for arrows is 425-450 grains. If bigger animal then I go up.

I shoot a pretty heavy arrow around 480 grains i think. Mines pretty quiet but I also just changed strings and lost my string leeches so that may bump up my noise a little. Im also thinking of going to a bstinger stab this season. Anyone run one on their spyder and like it?

So I'm no arrow expert.
Is there a way to add weight to an arrow itself?
Obviously the top, but beside the tip, I want to stay with the tips I have simply because I don't want to sell off what I have to buy more. (I'd lose more coin than it's worth)

Or do I just need to buy a heavier arrow? FMJs or something? I have a couple of those. May try them just to see the difference.

To make a a heavier arrow by adding tip weight you need to have the stiffest spine you can handle. Which is any research what u want to do and what kind arrow you'd like to build. To me going up to 420-450 will do u good whether u pick easton or black eagle it can be done. Prolly a 340-300 spine will be what u need

I went to Grizzly stiks website and took there 650 challenge. I was skeptical but unbelievable how much more accurate and quieter my Carbon Spyder 34 is now. Yes I lost some speed but it hits like a Mack truck. I was shooting a 440 grain Goldtip Kinectic before.
Now when I shoot a Kinectic the bow sounds a lot louder and with the Grizxly stik. My finished Grizzly stik weight is 655 grains. Very very forgiving. I haven't shot a arrow that cuts through the wind like these do. No holding right or left. Just hold on the spot and execute the shot as always.

I agree with a heavier arrow. I was all about speed until I had one completely dodge my arrow. Went to a 411 grain arrow and added cat whiskers. That got me very very quiet. Shot two deer at 35 and neither ducked or jumped.

I'm shooting a Spyder 30 and looking at replacing it with Carbon Element w/ G3's. Any opinion? Would this be a good move? I feel the Spyder 30 is a little jumpy with such a narrow valley & has a vibration after the shot.

Way too light for your draw weight.

This will do the trick.

I'll compare. Hope I don't need to add leeches but will if I need to.

Add string leaches/cat whiskers/monkey tails whichever you prefer and it will get quieter guaranteed. I shot my bow without the monkey tails one time and it was a LOT louder than with them on. I was very surprised how much of a difference they make.

The monkey tails did make a difference, but I had to keep an eye on them or they worked their way down the string and into the cam.
I didn't care for that much, so I took them off.
